There was no name calling in that, merely an observation as there are quite a lot of videos and other media available of Starbase that you could have watched to come up with ideas. The most basic ones that comes to mind is to use a cargo lock frame hidden behind doors and loaded with whatever...

In case of Elite they complain about how unimaginative some ships are though, like the Type-10. Anyway, if you want to make combat in your own ships interesting for yourself then build them that way, you can even design your own modules and operate them with YOLOL code. It is kind of your fault...

EVE Online is a point and click game where you just tell your ship what to do but have 0 direct control, yes the advertisements for the game directly hide this "little" fact while showing flashy maneuvers as if it was a space sim. Yes it may have more tactics as in more modules to use during...

I think the easiest way to balance cameras would be to limit the FoV (roll up a newspaper or magazine and look through that) as you rely a lot on your peripheral vision in combat. In my opinion the fear of Borg cubes is a bit blown out of proportion as in the offending games (like Empyrion...

Nice, I always have issues with the "aesthetics" part of the design process. Those artworks will help a lot.
